Motion NDM8563 Darren Millar

To propose that the Senedd:

1. Notes the Cass review commissioned by NHS England to make recommendations on how to improve NHS gender identity services, which highlighted that there should be extreme caution in prescribing puberty blockers and hormones to under-18s due to a lack of high-quality research into their long-term effects.

2. Welcomes the fact that due to NHS England stopping puberty blockers, this has resulted in there being no pathway for under-18s in Wales to receive puberty blockers.

3. Calls on the Welsh Government to:

a) adopt the recommendations of the Cass review; and

b) ensure that children and their parents are supported with common sense, fact-based guidance.
